Where it sits in the control system
The 2900261 is the device-level element in a Phoenix Contact industrial component installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — the rated supply — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in control panels, machine builds, spare-part replacements, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Phoenix Contact 2900261
Phoenix Contact 2900261 — Industrial automation component supplied as a like-for-like replacement, selected by catalog number and published ratings. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number 2900261; confirm the installed unit's part number and revision so the replacement matches both electrically and mechanically.
- Tripping characteristic: 10 mm — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Terminal wire size: 0.14 mm² ... 2.5 mm² — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Certifications: CE, UL, cULus — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Response time: 5 ms — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
